The Neuroradiology Section offers a full range of diagnostic and intervention procedures for our pediatric and adult patients. We are comprised of attending staff with various diagnostic and/or interventional backgrounds. Our section offers state of the art diagnostic and interventional tools for diagnosing and treating CNS and Spinal disorders.

In our Diagnostic subsection, we offer basic to advanced imaging techniques. We offer 24/7 service to our patients for both Computed Tomography (CT) and Magnetic Reasonance Imaging (MRI). In CT, we performed a full gamut ranging from basic anatomical imaging to advanced neurovascular and functioning imaging such as CT Angiogram and Perfusion of the neck and head regions for our stroke or cancer population. We fully utilize our multidetector CT scanners (4 and 16 detectors, and soon to be 64 detectors) and their 3D and multiplanar capabilities in acquisition and post processing to achieve faster and more accurate diagnosis.

For MRI, we also utilize both our current five, both 1.5 Tesla and 3.0 Tesla, clinical magnet units for basic and advanced imaging studies. In addition to our basic neurospinal axis anatomical imaging for searching of pathologies, we also apply advanced tools such as MR Spectroscopy, MR Perfusion, and further as needed to achieve more pin-point diagnosis.

In our Interventional subsection, we offer both Endovascular and Spinal diagnostic and theurapeutic procedures. Our Endovascular group offers treatment options for patients with aneurysm, arteriovenous malformation, carotid stenosis, tumor, or stroke. Our stroke interventional team is trained to use the mechanical clot retrieval system which currently extends the theraupeutic window for our acute stroke patients. Our redesigned Neuroangiographic Suite will allow us to perform 3D Digital Subtraction Angiogram (DSA) and CT of head and neck without moving the patient elsewhere.

Through the Minimal Invasive Spine Service (MISS) within our Interventional subsection, we offer a gamut of Fluoro and/or CT guided percutaneous procedures for patients with spinal disorders. Such basic procedures are Spinal Epidural / Facet Block, Discogram, Spinal/Paraspinal Biopsy, Lumbar Puncture, and Myelogram. Advances procedures such as Epidural Blood Patch, Radiofrequency (RF) Ablation of nerves and tumors, Percutaneous Discectomy, Vertebral Augmentation (Vertebroplasty / Kyphoplasty), and Sacroplasty for sacral insufficiency fracture are offered to those clinically qualified patients.

Six subspecialty trained radiologists and one neurosurgeon staff the Neuroradiology Section, along with many subspecialty trained CT, MRI, and Interventional technologists and nursing staff.
